Alpha 9 Modder Stuff

[ItchyFlea]

I figured I'd create a thread listing how many changes (or lack thereof) we'll have to make to mods to make them compatible with the current test build of Alpha 9.
The below is what I noticed when seeing what changes I'd have to make to make my AnimalHideWorking mod compatible.

[skillGains] [Artistic]40[/Artistic] [/skillGains]	[workSkill]Artistic[/workSkill]	Why can't we set how much skill is gained anymore?

As normal when i get a new version i compare the old version and new version of the gun code. (no relations.)
This is my findings:

New Lines:

Code Select Expand


<ThingDef Name="BaseGun" Abstract="True">
...
<drawGUIOverlay>true</drawGUIOverlay>
...
<statBases>
  ...
  <DeteriorationRate>1</DeteriorationRate>
</statBases>
<comps>
...
   <li>
    <compClass>CompQuality</compClass>
   </li>
</comps>

Accuracy moved and renamed it is now named Accuracy instead of accuracy:

Code Select Expand


<ThingDef ParentName="BaseHumanGun">
...
<statBases>

New <ThingDef ParentName="BaseGun"> tag:

Code Select Expand


<tradeTags>
<li>Exotic</li>
</tradeTags>

Removed strings:

Code Select Expand

<tradersCarry>true</tradersCarry>

Weapon cost increase (estimated 150%)
1000 to 2400
60 to 200

The Quality Labels mod

But thats what you get when you mod an alpha game

Sorry it took a bit to respond - Infinifactory sucked me in

[Tynan]

Wow! Great minds think alike. I didn't even know you'd done that.

[JuliaEllie]

Hmm I wonder what happens if the game draws a label for the same Thing twice. Im using a mapcomponent to draw all the Quality Labels I will test this later.

Now if only we could get Tynan to consume your auto-stockpiles for beacons... lol

Good idea But this is easy enough that I'll just do it myself.

As sad as it is, it's like the biggest complaint from my mom next to the lack of defensive options in the game. "We had the pad in the old version, why'd he take it away?"

It took me 5 f-ing hours to find out how the ZoneManager works and that Find.ZoneManager.RegisterZone(Zone) kills the whole game while ZoneMaker.MakeZoneWithCells seemed unreasonable because it still seems like it only returns a Zone from a List of IntVec3s.. Where is it even calling the ZoneManager or spawning the Zone in the world???

I ask for it, not even 20 minutes later it seems he added it to the patch notes....

On a scale of 1 to FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF how angry are you ma'am?

"Added command to make trade beacon automatically generate a matching stockpile."

ITS OVER FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!

Sorry <3

Only other mod I could see of yours that would fit in Vanilla other than stockpiling is the canning idea for better food storage instead of mass freezing food but pretty sure Tynan isn't in a automatic crafting for RimWorld area yet.

I thought about auto crafting many times but I think its not necessary yet. Maybe later when there is stuff you really need a lot of or ammunition.
